Seasons Remembered

Spring arrived with life anew,
Fledglings hatched - then away they flew,
Bees gathered nectar from flowers of blue,
Morning grass glistened with sparkling dew!

Summer brought in the warmth of the sun,
Toasted marshmallows - went for a run,
Melted a s'more - put a ‘dog in a bun,
Memories were made - just having fun!

Autumn burst forth in magnificent show,
Dressed up the trees with a bright crimson glow,
'Til breezes thieved and north winds did blow, 
Lacing leaf tapestries 'neath branches below!

Winter invaded with chilling plight,
Clouds coveted stars and obscured the moon’s light,
Thunder crackled - lightning danced at night,
As tranquility fell in a blanket of white-

Your thoughts are probably correct regarding the meaning of N/A - I'm not exactly sure what it stands for but some sponsors use it to close a contest (so they can post another contest) and then judge it at a later date so do not worry if you see an N/A and the contest hasn't shown on the winners page:-) hugs Jan xx

Thank you Jan...I thought it wold not be considered as a big N/A was posted beside the entry for several days...and may I ask you what N/A stands for? (I thought it meant not applicable or not appropriate)...
